One of the lessons that I THOUGHT Amanda would have learned by now is that when making any sort of a challenge bet, you must ALWAYS scout out the competition to know their strengths and weaknesses BEFORE you make the bet. For example, before you make a bet with someone about eating a dozen donuts, it would be helpful to know that your competition can unhinge their jaw and that they have been known to eat an entire Big Mac with one bite. Had she done this, Amanda would have known that for recreation Woodie is a trapeze artist* and regularly spends hours hanging by his arms, which are now incredibly strong. As with the donut-eating contest, this challenge was over before it ever started.
